Any idea what a lemon house is?
It means the same thing as it does to a car-
Don’t buy it!!

Oh my gosh. How sweet are they.
What a great cat momma you are.
“Kamala could climb over Hill and Dale, but in her
case, those would be members of her team!”
LOL!!
Well if we can imagine buying a house like that, we could imagine having the cash for it, and then having servants to help us
“I’m so afraid Teega would kill it...”
I’m having that problem here with multiple ages. Oreo really wants to play with somebody. Cadbury will play with him occasionally but he is quite rough. Oreo doesn’t complain but I’m not comfortable with it. Then Oreo tries to play with winter. She does complain, little baby hisses and growls. So just like you, I get out the spray bottle. Oreo learns fast. After that he starts to go up to her and then stops. He figures she has super powers, water!
“Little Winter is not deaf, is she?”
I was worried about that at first, if she had permanent blue eyes. She seems to hear fine though, reacts to noises. She may not be entirely white, it looks like her tail is turning like her mother’s, but light. Light red and stripes. Kind of weird. But if that stops her from being deaf that’s perfectly fine.
good one!!
I’m surprised the bee didn’t think of it
>>>>a necklace, brilliant!!
I’ll be like one of those 1950 housewives, that dress up and match their kitchen.

You get the red knob, I’ll make you a necklace
Out on deck a few minutes. Just had a 4 hour nap
Got together with three gal pals friends over 40 years from church when we were all young moms- they knew my son when he was a young boy) for lunch at Culvers ( look it up) and two went with me to visit my son in hospital. Came home n crashed. Tried to get on line n no luck even outside. So sleep seemed a good option
Ready to go in and go go back to sleep once again
Really enjoyed the home/villas in Europe
I too am now traveling via visual sources. On line or cinema
Ok, it’s a deal! I’m glad you’re getting enough rest, this has to be a very stressful time.
A grandson of slaves, a boy was born in a poor neighborhood of New Orleans known as the “Back of Town.” His father abandoned the family when the child was an infant. His mother became a prostitute and the boy and his sister had to live with their grandmother.
Early in life he proved to be gifted for music and with three other kids he sang in the streets of New Orleans. His first gains were coins that were thrown to them.
A Jewish family, Karnofsky, who had emigrated from Lithuania to the USA, had pity for the 7-year-old boy and brought him into their home. Initially giving ‘work’ in the house, to feed this hungry child. There he remained and slept in this Jewish family’s home where, for one of the first times in his life, he was treated with kindness and tenderness.
When he went to bed, Mrs. Karnovsky sang him a Russian lullaby that he would sing with her. Later, he learned to sing and play several Russian and Jewish songs. Over time, this boy became like an adopted son of this family.
The Karnofskys gave him money to buy his first musical instrument, as was the custom in the Jewish families. They sincerely admired his musical talent. Later, when he became a professional musician and composer, he used Jewish melodies in some of his compositions.
The young black boy grew up and wrote a book about this Jewish family who had adopted him in 1907. In memory of this family, and until the end of his life, he wore a Star of David and said that in this family he had learned “how to live real life and determination.”
You might recognize his name. This little boy was called Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong. Louis Armstrong proudly spoke fluent Yiddish and “Satchmo” is Yiddish for “big cheeks, a nickname some say was given to him by Mrs. Karnofsky!
I was listening to What a Wonderful World
Song by Louis Armstrong and wanted to share the story.

Simone Arianne Biles is a seven-time Olympic gold medal-winning artistic gymnast. She is tied for second in the number of Olympic medals won in the sport. She won three gold medals and one silver in the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris. She is 27 years old (March 14, 1997) and was born in Columbus, Ohio.
Biles went in and out of foster care when she was very young. She was adopted by her maternal grandfather when she was a small child and grew up in the Houston area. She started in gymnastics when she was six years old. By the time she was a teenager, she was performing at an elite level.
In 2014, Biles decided to attend UCLA on a gymnastics scholarship. She deferred her attendance until after the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. She ended up turning professional and never attended UCLA.
Biles was 19 when she arrived on the world stage at the Rio Olympic Games. She didn’t disappoint. She took the gold medal in the vault and floor exercise. She edged out American Aly Raisman to win the gold in the women’s artistic individual all-around. She teamed with Raisman, Madison Kocian, Laurie Hernandez, and Gabby Douglas to win the team gold medal. Biles also won a bronze medal in the balance beam. She was chosen to be the flag bearer for the United States in the closing ceremonies.
The 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics were held in the summer of 2021. Biles was posed for another round of gold medals. That wouldn’t happened. She struggled and ultimately withdrew from several events, citing mental health issues. She was criticized by some and praised by others for her decisions. She won a bronze medal in the balance beam and a silver medal in the team competition in Tokyo.
The world was watching closely when competition in the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad in Paris started last month. Biles wasn’t going to disappoint this time. She won the individual all-around as well as the vault. She teamed with Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera, Sunisa Lee, and Jordan Chiles to win the team gold medal. Biles also won a silver in the floor exercise.
Biles has won 11 Olympic medals, seven of them gold, tied for second most in the sport in both categories. Věra Čáslavská also won seven gold and 11 overall medals for then-Czechoslovakia in the 60s. Larisa Latynini won 18 medals, nine of them gold, representing the then-Soviet Union in the 50s and 60s.
Biles was a victim of convicted felon Dr. Larry Nassar in the USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal. The scandal was revealed in 2016 by an investigation by the Indianapolis Star. She and over 300 other victims were awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award in 2018. Nassar is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison for the crimes he committed.
Biles authored an autobiography, Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, a Life in Balance, in 2017 with good to excellent reviews. It was later turned into a biopic. She competed in season 24 of the celebrity dancing show Dancing with the Stars, finishing in fourth place. She is a commercial spokesperson for several companies.
Biles has been married to professional football player Jonathan Owens (pictured 2023) for one year. He has played for the Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers and is expected to compete for the Chicago Bears this fall. They primarily live in Houston.
School is almost starting and I want to ask you a favor… Sit with your child for 5 minutes and explain that there’s never a reason to make fun of someone for their height, their weight, their skin tone, their home life or the things they enjoy.
Explain there’s nothing wrong with wearing the same shoes every day.
Explain to them that a used backpack carries the same dreams as a new one.
Teach them not to exclude anyone for “being different”
Explain to them that teasing hurts and that school is for going to LEARN, NOT to compete or spread negativity.
Remind them some kids don’t go home to loving families so it’s important to be kind. It all starts at home!
In bed snd able to post. Debby is above us and promising 7” of rain so that low cloud cover is letting me post
Yeah!
So I’ll be up for a bit pisting “whatevers” even though I’m sleepy
“My hero is Mom. When I got my own police station she knitted me a teddy bear. I was hoping for a coffee mug.
I said “Mum I’m too old for a teddy bear.”
She said ‘Firstly, you’re not. No one is. Secondly, it’s not for you. It’s a trauma bear, for any kid you think needs it.’
Three months later I’m asking a little boy to do a big job. There was a scared bear in my police truck that needed looking after. And, while his world dissolved in sirens and lights that boy kept that bear safe and took him home.
Mum has made hundreds of things since. Trauma bears for victims of crime, quilts to warm rehabilitating drug addicts during the chill of withdrawal, booties and mittens for premature babies. There’s something in the stitching, a kind of grandma magic I suppose.
The photo is me dropping off some more bears and quilts. Mum’s my hero and, since she’s not on Facebook, if you message me I’ll pass it on.”

Coughed so much my lungs feel black and blue.
“Any idea what a lemon house is?
It means the same thing as it does to a car-”
So ... a “fixer-upper”, I guess. Still, it’s a beautiful house. Maybe like that house in “Under The Tuscan Sun”.
Oh lysie. I’m sorry to hear this. Are you ok now?
Good morning, lysie!
Such a wonderful breakfast—I never sausage a thing!
Thank you!
